Novelty Cakes Magazine – Lindy Smith
There’s a new cake mag in town and it’s for the Aussie’s! Called Novelty Cakes, it’s actually step by steps of Lindy Smith’s cakes.
Starting off with some basic information on tools, how to cover cakes and some recipes, it then goes into the Lindy Smith styled step by steps of cakes from some of her books, including, tips and tricks, timesaver comments, alternatives AND templates.
In addition there is a two page spread on Cake Decorating Suppliers throughout Australia, mainly names and numbers with the odd website thrown in, I’ll definitely be looking into more of them to add to our suppliers directory!
Turn the page and there is another two page spread called On the Net, showing some popular cake blogs and sites, including Planet Cake, Cake Journal, Extra Icing on the Cake and a Shop squealing surprise to find The Cakes and More Blog included in the mix! Yep I did squeal in the shop when I saw it, lucky it was my local newsagency who ignored me anyway! hehehehe 
Unfortunately a screen shot of the brief orange colouring, it is still a huge coo to see Cakes & More receive it’s first official published press. With an average of 1000 hits a day, with on average around 350 of them unique (meaning each person is hitting the site approximately 3-4 times a day), we are doing very very well, so I hope to continue sharing ideas, tips and tricks with all our cake friends out there!
A new one in May is Party Cakes and will include more Lindy Smith delights by the look of the cover.
I’m not sure how many of these will be published, but here’s to Lindy Smith and the publisher for remember the Aussie contingent of Cake Friends and Decorators! If you only have one Lindy Smith book or don’t have any, definitely pick up this mag, great for beginners through to more advanced decorators. Thanks to Lindy & the publishers for including Cakes & More, it’s great to know we have made an impact in the Cake world.

Hi this looks great! I tried to pick it up at my local newsagent this morning but no luck. Can you tell me who it’s published by so that I can get them to order it in for me?

@Elaine, OK, Published in Australia by Derwent Howard Media Pty Ltd under licence from David & Charles. I hope that helps! Let me know if they can’t get it in.
Hi
Came acrcoss your blog through Google Alerts, you’ve oviously been blogging a lot longer than me… it all looks great, well done. The Novelty cake magazine of my cakes was news to me…..! But after doing a bit of digging, I found that it is perfectly legitimate publication, actually called a bookazine it should be on sale in your newsagents and supermarkets for about 3 months. Any chance someone can hold onto a copy for me until I arrive in Sydney for the seminar in August? I can’t wait to meet you all.
Best wishes Lindy

@Lindy Smith, Hi Lindy! Welcome it’s like our very own celebrity visit I’m so excited!
Yes I will go downstairs to my newsagents tomorrow and get you a copy! I didn’t know they could publish things like that without letting you know, hopefully it means more royalties!
Your cakes are great and the instructions are super easy to follow which is what I always want, so thank you!
I’m so excited about my visit to Sydney as well, I can’t wait to meet you all and find out about the differences and similarities between our approaches to cakes and sugarcraft. Regards publishers, in my experience the author is always the last to hear about anything, so its no surprise that I wasn’t informed! One reason why I’m currently putting my own DVD’s together……!
Thanks for offering to buy me the bookazine, that’s very kind of you Nicole – I’ll obviously see you in August.

Hi, I might be the only one, but does anyone know the details of Lindy Smith’s visit?? such as seminar details, appearances, etc??…I’d love to know!

you may need to contact them to get an idea of days and demos etc. HTH
Hi Nicole, is there a phone number or email address if we (the other members too) want to subscribe? Can’t find it in my newsagent:( Gina

@Singkit65, The publisher details are Published in Australia by Derwent Howard Media Pty Ltd under licence from David & Charles. If you tell your newsagent that info with the name of the mag, they should be able to order it in for you.
Hi Nicole and fellow blog readers. Thought some of you might like a little more info regards my visit to the cake seminar in Sydney. I will be giving 3 demonstrations, all on different topics, which everyone who attends the seminar will see. I understand that there will be 20 demonstrations in total, so think of everything you could learn in just a few days….! I am planning to demonstrate a couple of new topics, straight from my wonky cake DVD, so Australia will be the first to see these live! I hope to meet some of your there.
